Ben Affleck reveals he writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, worked extensively with GPUs, and used his celebrity status to get private looks at Google and OpenAI’s video models

“I’ve always been kind of into computers since I was young. Then, when film started to move from analog film to digital, I became more interested in that aspect of it. The visual-effects workflow for many years has included machine learning, so I can write pretty shitty Python scripts and stuff like that.

“With convolutional neural networks, which were the precursors to what the transformer can do, which is much more computation simultaneously, you would do things like look at what’s called a tensor. That’s the numerical translation of a visual image in numbers, like the batch number, the frame number and the red, green and blue values of each pixel in each frame. It’s just that simple. That numeric is called a tensor.

“You’d use a convolutional neural network to identify patterns that reveal what’s called edge detection or feature extraction, which is identifying patterns well enough to know, this is where the window ledge is, so we can more easily take the green-screen image out and replace it with something.

“That was familiar to me early on because, prior to Artists Equity, I had a small visual-effects company. I’ve worked with GPUs a lot too. The visual-effects guys said, ‘Hey, you should see. There are a couple: Google and this other company, OpenAI, are doing really interesting stuff with transformers in video.’

“I’ve learned that I can actually just call up and go, ‘Hey, it’s Ben Affleck. Can I come see what you’re doing?’ Sometimes people say yes, to my astonishment.”

Dear KMPDU members
If you needed something to embolden your resolve here it is attached.

Dear Kenyans
If you wanted a glimpse of how our negotiations rooms are, the kind of language spewed upon us. Why we remain fearful of their offers ; I hope this clip here by @HonMoses_Kuria answers all your questions.
The doctors I lead remain humble in submission even in the face of such vitriols unnecessary name-calling and threats.

I ask you to support us.

Mr. President, an unpaid doctor with bills to pay, family needs to be catered for will not be in the proper mindset to save lives.
The state has an obligation to its workers the same way they have an obligation to Kenyans,both are equally important. None is superior!!

Stop blaming hardworking Drs who have been overworking in the deplorable health facilities for its inevitable collapse!

@CofekRebranded Why don't you want to open the lid of the person who is paying you? If the public hospitals had enough personnel would patients suffer under endless ques, if the had fully stocked labs and drug stores, would patients be referred to other facilities to buy this?
